Nope, I believe what I seen over at 9to5mac. Apple are not perfect. But like I've said no problems with mine and hopefully it stays that way.
Blaming fat people now?
If he danced for 2-3 hours like he said I doubt he's that out of shape.
Still no answer on how he did that.
He clearly dropped it as pointed out by someone else and confirmed by him.
Next......
I didn't feel any type of pressure in my front pocket when driving the customers car. I noticed it when i got out of the car and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I didn't ever feel any discomfort while driving.
This is like me claiming I have a pet dragon in my garage that can't be photographed or he dissapears.
Can you prove I don't?
It's almost impossible to prove a negative (ask Christianity, they lean on that premise almost exclusively).
I don't believe the people claiming they did nothing but put the phone in a front pocket. I have plenty of reasons not to, and they have a ton of reasons to lie about it (embarrassment over damaging their own phone through their own negligence for one).
There are MILLIONS of these phones in the wild. There aren't even 100 reported cases of "bending", regardless of the cause.
Could it happen? Sure. You CAN bend your phone. No one is disputing that. What is in dispute is how hard it needs to be pushed, and under what circumstance it will bend.
For 99.9999% of folks, it's a NON-issue. I completely understand wanting to save face if you sit on your phone. That does NOT make it anyone's fault but yours.
There IS no problem. Prove me wrong.

Yes, I think I should be able to put a $650 device in my pocket, and not have it bend like a cheap piece of crap.
Everyone I know.
Yeah, the guy damaged his phone, by carrying it in a loose fitting pair of pants, IN THE FRONT.
I've not been here awhile, but I can see the apologists have come back to roost. For awhile there, it seemed like it was just Android/Windows trolls.
You lost my attention at the off handed shot at a major world religion. Was it necessary, no. Is it needed in this argument? No. Do I agree with you, doesn't matter, because it doesn't belong here.
Do other phones have this bending feature or do they just crack???
Feature?
Bending in my pocket isn't usually a feature that I look for when buying a phone.
Seriously? Try bending any smartphone and it will bend... I don't know why people expect the iPhones to be invulnerable...
Yeah. That video isn't really indicative of the problem that is being reported. I think I could snap most smart phones by applying pressure like in the video.
The concern is the iPhone bending just from being placed in a pocket and going about your day. That is my concern.
I hope that a few bad
s just left the plant. I don't want this to be a real problem. I was looking forward to purchasing a 6, but I will hold off for a couple of weeks.It's interesting to note that it was bent before the test too. Not as bad, but he didn't realize it until he went to make the video. So technically another accidental bending. ...followed by a much more purposeful and thorough bending. lol
LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS? That reason you gave was so stupid. Stop trying to defend Apple, they f***cked up and they know it. Just watch when they use thicker material in the second batch of these phones
This is what we need now!!!
comparison between 5S and 6 and 6 Plus. Maybe a 4 in there.
All scientifically measured!
We are all technically arguing about what degree of force it warps at. (and if it is reasonable)
You're kidding right? One person purposely trying to fault an apple product suddenly apple needs to address this non-issue? The hate is strong with these folks.
I've never had a faulty apple product - if I did, i"d return it an get a good one. This is just a non-issue simply don't put the phone in your pocket. It pains to see how illogical this is to some of you who try to fault an apple product when there is nothing wrong with it spread so much FUD.
Aluminum will bend but it takes quite a force. I don't know how fat the OP is but i don't see this as a big deal. Move on, please.
You'll note that it bent right away, long before his hands started shaking. Not a whole lot but at least equal to the other pictures we've seen. Later, he bent it worse. This could easily happen the way that people are claiming it happened.
Again, this happened to my son's iPod touch (by me) and that's a thicker device.
And also again, I generally love Apple products including my present iPhone. I am not secretly up to no good or into androids or whatever other silly ideas are going through the heads of a few of yous. This is just a big ol' ruh-roh. We'll live with it and be careful but yeah - mine arrives in 3 days and when it does, there's a decent chance I'll trade it in for a 6. But even then, it's at risk and probably more so because it will be even more tempting to put in my pocket, haha. So I kinda sorta hope I just stick with the 6+!

If it weren't a big issue then this thread wouldn't have more 30 pages and everyone wouldn't be talking about it. Its a huge deal and Apple WILL respond just like the antenna issue on 4
More than one person.
It isn't a non-issue if it happens when just in a normal pant pocket. Sorry, I've been carrying cell phones in my pockets for 16 years. I have never caused trauma to a phone while it was in my pocket.
I'm not faulting anything. I hope it isn't a problem, I want to buy a 6.
still don't get how he's trying to troll...
it's bent. with the phone being in his front pocket.
EDIT: writer even shows how loose his pants were by shoving an iPad mini (same pants that bent his 6)

Sorry, but it is difficult to detect sarcasm on this forum.
Some people are furiously stating that the solution is to keep the phone out of a pocket. It is blowing my mind.
